Description
Piel was born and grew up in New York's Greenwich Village. His father, Paul, was a part-time sculptor and inventor, the son of a founder of Piel Brothers Brewery. Piel attended City & Country School and the High School of Music & Art, after which he matriculated at Yale College, where he majored in philosophy.
Summers found him studying art at Syracuse University, Grenoble University, and La Grande Chaumiere in Paris. After graduation from Yale, he continued his study of art at Pratt Institute, graduating with his Bachelors and a Masters degree. He then entered the field of advertising, serving as art director for several of New York's better-known advertising agencies, among them: McCann-Erickson and Marsteller, Inc.
Although employed by day for national accounts such as Coca-Cola, Exxon, Nabisco, and IBM, in his spare time Piel busied himself artistically, painting oil portraits of business and political leaders. In 1978, he retired from advertising and moved west with his wife, Susan, to pursue a new career in teaching and painting.
Eventually he joined Cal Poly's Art and Design Department, where he enjoyed teaching for 13 years. "From Lincoln to Lennon," Piel's portrait series of assassinated public figures was first seen at Cal Poly's University Union Gallery, then toured through California and Florida. Another portrait series, "Stars, Songs, Faces", traveled a similar route. While at the Hollywood Museum, it was purchased by Lavignes/Bastille Gallery, Paris.
In 1995 Cal Poly's University Union Gallery exhibited Piel's "Portraits of Genius", which featured large oil paintings and computer-generated likenesses of famous scientists, composers and artists.
Piel's work is in private and public collections on the Central Coast and elsewhere, including the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas and the New York Society Library in Manhattan. His painting of Mozart figures prominently in the backdrop of all Mozart Festival performances at the Performing Arts Center. Most recently an exhibit of Piel's work, "Intimate Grandeur", met with widespread critical and popular success at SLO Art Center, where his large landscape paintings captured the public imagination.
Piel's murals, especially those executed for SLO's Café Roma and Paso Robles' Arciero Winery, are well-known and his work figures prominently in many Central Coast collections. He was a member of the SLOPE painters group, the White Heron Sangha, Broken Antler Men's Group and the Course in Miracles Study Group.
This painting depicts Ludwig van Beethoven.This portrait seems to captured his mood as being upset and having a frown on his face.
